The Graham Crawford Show

The Graham Crawford Show was created out of a belief that we need to talk about the issues and opportunities facing Hamilton in a way that generates debate and fosters understanding. The goal of show is to provide smart, progressive talk from regular panelists, subject matter experts, and personal observations.
The show is posted weekly and always focuses on issues affecting you and the City of Hamilton.
All of the people involved in The Graham Crawford Show do so because they believe that dialogue creates understanding. And the more we understand our city, the better we can all help it to realize its potential.
All of the shows are recorded in downtown Hamilton in the studios of QED Media.
Let’s talk Hamilton.

On this edition of the Graham Crawford Show we talk with Paul Wilson about the bright neon lights of Hamilton, those that once were and those that still light the night sky.

Cultural Heritage is defined as an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. Hamilton’s neon signs fit into that definition. From the Pagoda to the Capri Restaurant to Cheapies to the Westdale Theatre. All in this lively discussion on the Graham Crawford Show.

We’re very pleased to have Jason Thorne, General Manager of Planning & Economic Development for the City of Hamilton join us for an in-depth, one-on-one discussion about urban design in Hamilton, from how demographics affect planning, to what is excellent urban design, to how the Planning Department contributes to the achievement of our Vision, to how engaging community engagement really is, and much, much more.
